MOA: FACULTY ACADEMIC JOURNAL
Preamble: The purpose of this Memorandum is to fund
the development and initial publication of a biannual
journal edited by Lane faculty and produced with the
participation of Lane students as part of their course work.
The journal would (1) provide support for creating a
college-supported practice of learning scholarship, a goal
of the Strategic Learning Initiative; (2) provide an avenue
of professional development; (3) enhance the image of Lane
Community College as an institution at which to work and to
support; (4) support the opportunities and innovations
occurring at community colleges; (5) support a vital,
inclusive scholarly culture uniquely possible at a
comprehensive community college; and (6) provide another
avenue of practical production experience for Lane
students.
1. Chartering Sponsors. Chartering of the faculty
academic journal shall be sponsored by the following people
or their designees: the Strategic Learning Initiative
Leadership Team co-chairs, Faculty Professional Development
Committee coordinator, Faculty Council chair, student
publications production advisor, and initial co-editors.
2. Initial Funding. Release time or compensation at
the curriculum development rate, equivalent to one class
each, over summer 2000 shall be provided for the co-editors
to develop the charter, design the publication, and set
tentative production schedules. This shall be accomplished
with consultation with the chartering sponsors, the
voluntary participation of an editorial advisory board they
will select, and the feedback of faculty solicited in Spring
2000.
3. Production. Upon acceptance of the charter by all
the charter sponsors before the start of Fall term, 2000,
biannual production will timely commence during the academic
year. It is intended that the co-editors shall each receive
two classes release time per academic year to oversee the
journal. In addition, during each year, one class release
time shall be provided to each of two thematic editors.
4. Review. An annual review of the journal by the
chartering sponsors or their designees will be conducted to
make decisions about its modification and continuation. The
review and subsequent decisions will be based on the extent
to which the journal is fulfilling its charter.
